Why Concert-goers love it
Concert fans love the
easy access to downtown venues—you’re just a quick drive or rideshare away from the heart of the Grand Rapids music scene. The quiet suburban setting keeps things peaceful when you're ready to crash after a loud night out. With a
12:00 PM check-in and
11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to fit most travel plans. On-site laundry and a cozy outdoor courtyard give this place a homey, post-show recovery vibe.
Who this Hotel is great for
- Groups of friends needing space to chill before and after the show
- Solo travelers looking for comfort with independence
- Couples making a weekend out of a concert
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space outside the city center
- Budget-conscious music fans wanting great value without skimping on comfort
Food and Drink Options
While there's no on-site restaurant, each suite features a
kitchenette with stovetop, microwave, and dishwasher—great for late-night snacks or quick breakfasts after a big night out. The hotel is surrounded by
walkable dining options at Woodland Mall and nearby eateries, giving you plenty of choices. Guests love being able to eat in or head out depending on their vibe.
Nightlife Options
The hotel itself is on the quieter side, but its location near restaurants and bars around Woodland Mall—and a short drive to downtown Grand Rapids—puts you within reach of live music venues, breweries, and lounges. It’s a great base if you want to experience the city’s nightlife and then retreat to a low-key setting.
What People Say
Guests appreciate the
spacious rooms that feel more like apartments than hotel rooms, especially the kitchenettes and separate living areas. The
quiet atmosphere and
cleanliness consistently get good marks, as does the friendly and accommodating staff. Many reviewers say it's a great value for the price, particularly for longer stays or small groups.
Areas for Improvement
Some guests note that the property’s no-frills style means
limited amenities—there’s no gym or on-site dining. Also, being a bit outside the downtown core means you’ll likely need a
car or rideshare to get to late-night events.
The Bottom Line
If you’re heading to a concert in Grand Rapids and want space, comfort, and value without the downtown noise, Affordable Suites of America Grand Rapids is a top pick.
